It’s okay when it’s OUR backdoor, it’s not okay when it’s their speculative backdoor.

I know they are trying but so far it seems the ad-blockers are winning because I’ve not noticed any interruptions or problems with comments so far.

Worker regulations mostly. Since drivers aren’t employees, they get no benefits whatsoever.

Isn’t The Finals struggling to keep its players?

Interest rates are higher so companies have a higher pressure to turn big profits instead of other metrics of success.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 3 weeks ago:
I only care about achievements in games I enjoy. Also while I agree it’s useful telemetry, let’s not kid ourselves: game companies track a lot more than what achievements could ever do by themselves.

If it works I expect it to be popular. A lot of people don’t actually want to engage with videogames and would rather zombie through the experience

What made the Japanese surrender was the Soviet Union declaring war. They held out hope until the very end that the soviets would mediate a peace, even after the nukes.

The problem is that the current definition makes no sense and is, frankly, bad.
400 people, for a huge scientific community like astronomy, is bad. Heck even if they were literally all the astronomers in the world, the fact that it was proposed and voted on basically the same day should be noteworthy at the very least.
And no one here is angry. I was just pointing out that name calling for no reason doesn’t really add to the discussion, even a low stakes one like this.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 1 month ago:
It’s because the definition includes things that aren’t really about the object itself and more about where it is. And also how inconsistent it is, as Mercury isn’t in hydrostatic equilibrium and yet is explicitly included as a planet by the IAU. Nevermind the fact that the new definition was speed voted and approved by less than 400 astronomers in a convention where 2500+ people attended, let alone not even being discussed with the larger scientific community.
But hey, if you’d rather dismiss my points because of an url, you do you. Not like this changes our everyday live anyway.

It’s about keeping the solar system small and simple. There would be tens of planets, in the old definition.

Except when you actually read about the change in Pluto’s status and how unscientific it actually is.

I hope they release the price soon, the discourse on this has become incredibly tiring.

Except you need to make even more money. You can’t do that by simply letting things continue as they are.

Did you know this isn’t a discussion at all in most of the world? People do whatever and no one is bothered by it. I only ever see this in American media.

Good content won’t be recommended to you unfortunately.

This hurts review channels and similar but it wouldn’t hurt other kinds of video (unless people want summaries of fun videos?)
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 6 months ago:
It’s not about Linus specifically. Many other channels (with actual good content) have been experiencing the same. Creators are assuming it has to do with restricted mode, but I’m not sure it’s convincing, it probably has more to do with algorithmic changes youtube has made.

If we are entertain this idea, what could they possibly gain from this? Stealing passwords isn’t effective if the victim knows it’s been stolen.

All I see here is a mistake. If that’s unforgivable to you then so be it.

Why are you assuming malice when this is probably just a mistake/oversight?
